My cats don't know about it either. Of course, when they come home from the vet they hide and sulk, so even if I gave them burgers they might not notice.
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't know how it happens but if I don't have my phone with me for 10 minutes during the day (I was in the meeting which I'm always in at that time of day), my wife will call me right then. I missed her phone call. I called back a couple of times one minute later, but she's not answering which probably means she's pissed off. That's just great.

Our wings are not tired.
I see, she can choose to not answer the phone, but you have to even if you are in a meeting. Not reasonable.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Gud, do you ever get pissed off at her? If my husband treated me the way your wife treats you, there would be hell to pay. t edit (Okay, no, I'll be honest. If Tim treated me the way your wife treats you, the marriage would be over. The way she treats you is not how you treat someone you claim to love. It's abusive, and you deserve so much better.) You are WORKING. You can't just drop everything to answer the phone the moment anyone calls, not even your wife.
I work from home, where things are not *super* pressing, but even so, I keep my phone on mute because I have shit to do. People can leave a message and I'll call back. If that pisses them off -- even if it's my husband -- too fucking bad. They can get the fuck over it and act like actual adults, not 3-year-olds throwing a tantrum because they don't get what they want the precise SECOND they decide they want it.
The way she treats you is appalling.

And honestly, you don't seem very happy with her. I'm not sure why you put up with it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

A meeting that happens at the same time every day. Pretty reasonable to assume you won't be able to answer your phone at that point.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ugh. I slept until 11:30 Pacific time. I meant to get up around 9:00. But I suppose it makes sense I'd be so tired, considering the stress I'm under.
My flight from Oakland boards at 8:14 am tomorrow. What time should I get to the airport? I imagine the security lines will be fairly short?
ETA: does the car rental shuttle run at, say, 6:00 am for the Oakland airport?

Sad but true.

Well, it may be that she's not answering for other reasons and isn't angry. I don't really know. It's got me stressed out though.

This is when you text. "I was in a meeting where we cannot have phones. Saw you called. What is it?"
